With Geocaching we are seeing more of Bundaberg then we ever thought possible. From Places we drive past and don’t pay much attention to, and then to places we have been to before but didn’t really take much notice.
Bundaberg War Nurses Memorial is opposite Bundaberg Base Hospital, a place we have been to many times but really didn’t take the time out of our day to walk across to the park and see what was there.
And yeah we found the cache, it only took us two attempts, and many walking around in circles trying to work out where it was, before we thought outside the square and found it in the most usual place!
Bundaberg War Nurses Memorial ::
All the information and photos of the Cold War – its so good to see “History” of our War Nurses so that our younger generation can realise how lucky they are!
“To Honour Our Nurses – We owe a great debt of gratitude to those whose vision and drive created this memorial park and pavillion in 1949. We owe an equally great debt to all those involved in creating this enhanced and refurbished memorial to mark the cemtenary of the Great War”
“Enhancement and Revitalization of War Nurses Memorial – Was officially unveiled on 24th September 2014 by His Excellency the Honourable Paul de Jersey AC –Â Governor of Queensland”

I must try and get back to Bundaberg War Nurses Memorial and read more about the Remembrance of the Nurses – and to take pictures of the park area! Its so very good to see that Bundaberg acknowledges those that have fought and lost their lives in the time of war, and to remember those who helped out #lestweforget.
We enjoyed reading all about the “Bundaberg Lions Remembrance Park” information – it was while again we were Geocaching! Guess you could say we are now hooked on finding as many caches as possible – we are up to 60 finds so far! And tomorrow we will be out looking for more.
Do You Have A War Nurses Memorial In Your Town?
